Hey guys! Today, I’m going to be teaching you how to text message from an iPod touch. Now, the first thing you got to do is you got to open up your email. I have a lot of emails. You need to have WiFi. It’s really important that you have WiFi because it’s not going to mystically send from anywhere. So, you’re going to want to go into the bottom right corner and hit that new mail sign and you’re going to use the screen that looks like this. Now, you type in the person’s number and just type whatever you want to say. And just send it. Wait until done sent, it may take a while and pretty much you just send the text message to the phone.

Now, how you actually do that is when you’re creating the mail, you’re going to type in their number like their 10-digit phone number and put at Teleflip.com which is spelled .T-E-L-E-F-L-I-P like that. And pretty much just type whatever you want to them and just say like sent from an iPod for free and your friends are going to be, “How did you do that? How did you do that?” And you know it will be cool. Then look on your phone and I just sent my little sent from the iPhone right there, so it’s really nice. I’ve got an iPhone 3G here, amazing isn’t it? So, I'm hoping to make some cool videos on the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch. Subscribe and subscribe—yellow button, yellow button subscribe.
